ICRON

ICRON is a leading developer of algorithm based Advanced Planning, Scheduling (APS) and Optimization solutions for the manufacturing, distribution, MRO and Services sectors. The software allows its users to optimize their end-to-end supply chain operations by better estimating and calculating forecasted demand (S&OP) with inventory, production (constraints), and material sourcing. This can be done at both strategic planning (including capacity and network planning), tactical planning (12-18 month horizon) and operational scheduling level. According to Gartner "ICRON provides a high-value, easily implemented and a low cost of ownership product for Manufacturing, Distribution, Services and MRO focused enterprises "​ The strong points of ICRON over other Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) software vendors are to: - provide true end-to-end supply chain visibility and optimization and not limited to S&OP - source data from SAP in a validated manner but also other distributed systems and databases - conduct central and distributed optimization with manual intervention option - combine algorithm and optimization techniques for best approach - provide a visual algorithm and solution modeling interface. The end result is a faster implementation delivery and better optimization outcome. The target audience for ICRON is large enterprise accounts with production facilities who are likely using SAP APO/IBP and to a lesser extent Oracle or Microsoft Dynamics AX/NAV. More than 70 customers used the software today including for example ASML in the Netherlands who uses the software for production and inventory planning.
